i was wondering if i can check the thrust on my engine without the flywheel in place? this is because i have it in the basement and dont want to have to carry the motor up the stairs with the flywheel.
Thanks
Jason

 

Your engine generates thrust? I must be doing something wrong...

Do you mean end play?

 

Use a magnet holder on the counterweight.

 

end play, thrust same ****. sureshot i know how to do it but i need to know weather the flywheel needs to be attached b/c the manual says so but is it needed??

 

No flywheel needed.
It's just handy to pry on.
I light bump with a dead blow mallet will move the shaft.

 

cool thanks

 

you'd think with a belly full of guiness that you'd have a sense of humor

 

i usually have one (a sense of humor) but sometimes i get tired of the stupid **** on here.
